UH OH! Usha Vance Calls Out JD and Trump's Cabinet Implodes On Itself
13m 31s
The transcript features a political commentary segment sharply criticizing the Trump administration and Republican policies. The hosts first attack the "Natalie Harp" phenomenon, where President Trump's aide constantly praises him, describing it as weird and creepy. They argue that Harp, funded by taxpayers, feeds Trump's ego and is a liability due to her erratic statements, yet few Democrats are capitalizing on this issue. The discussion then pivots to Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, whose claims of supporting troops are labeled as lies. Critics assert Hegseth cares more about projecting a macho image and wielding power than about service members' welfare, citing his gutting of civilian casualty safeguards and his response to a sailor's suicide attempt on the USS Abraham Lincoln, where the sailor faced disciplinary action instead of support. The hosts extend this critique to the Republican Party, accusing it of a long history of exploiting the military for financial gain through endless wars and defense contracts, while neglecting veterans' needs like VA benefits and mental health care. They contrast this with the party's performative patriotism, arguing it has always prioritized billionaires over working-class soldiers. Finally, the segment mocks Usha Vance's advice for J.D. to take a social media break, calling it superficial given his alleged sociopathy and controversial associations. Overall, the tone is highly critical, framing Republicans as hypocritical on military support and out of touch on personal issues.
all right the democrats are catching on taking john ossoff's lead on attacking this natalie
situation it is weird it is the weirdest stuff on the planet that the president of the united
states has a bunny boiler that follows him around prints out lies about how great he is
chases him down a golf cart is with him all hours of the night and this is the weirdest
shit on the planet abdul el sayed is jumping in on the fun play the clip abdul abdul
we gotta say it like that man it's creepy abdul holds on to the l a little too long
oh abdul
you know natalie's gonna show him this clip and he's gonna be so mad
you
know he's so likable jd vance could take some pointers on his likability
but the natalie harp thing it's so fascinating because it's not sexual it can't be look at his
ankles but it's this is a man who has to go on and talk about dolly parton how much she liked him
and so now he has this person that can feed his ego all the time but she's a liability for the
white house because of all the crazy shit she's saying you're my guardian you're my protector i'm
i don't want anyone they crop her out of photos for fuck's sake but the american taxpayer is paying
her to tell him how great he is and keep him in this diluted state which tells me she's also
diluted which i mean i could have gathered that outside of this but good for syed al-saeed good
for asaf i don't think enough democrats are going after this situation i completely agree with you
on that and here we have pete hag seth
favorite, Poms, talking about how he supports the troops completely, aka pathologically lying
through his teeth. Play the clip. We are stating clearly that America's warriors will be fiercely
supported and our military's lethal edge will not be compromised by desk bound bureaucracy
or lawyers in the cheap seats. He just thinks he's such a badass. I mean, this guy, this guy,
he no more cares about the troops. If you cared about the troops, Pete Hegseth, you wouldn't go
work for a commander in chief whose former secretary of defense said he's basically Hitler.
I mean, the indictments that came out of the neocons that worked around Donald Trump and
Trump 1.0, and these are conservative Republican neocons that worked for Donald Trump in 1.0.
Every single one of them came out of that regime and
said this guy's not smart, a fascist to his core, belittled World War II heroes and called them
suckers and losers. So it's just the argument arrives DOA that he's trying to make because
you went and worked for a guy who, when the previous high ranking military people worked
around him, were appalled, disgusted, and went off and warned the country about how depraved this man
is.
Well, and let's face it, Pete Hegseth likes the power of killing people. He likes blowing people
up without evidence that they've done anything wrong. Pete Hegseth does not care about the troops
because anyone that ideologically disagrees with him is fired. We are in a war that we are having
service members killed and permanently maimed. And he doesn't give a shit about that because he
thinks he has the divine right to do that. And he doesn't give a shit about that because he thinks he has the divine
right to kill people. He has taken a department of defense that looked at civilian casualties and
avoided them. And he has gutted that. And now we see the response. We see the collateral damage of
that. And here's the thing. If he cared about the troops, we would never have heard the USS Lincoln
and what is going on on that ship. He does not care about the troops. He cares about being
the call of duty.
It is stunning that the incompetence that he displays. I mean, I have seen in my lifetime
nothing but raw, raw military from Republicans. And now you see a situation where the United States
military is depleted and is at a crossroads that in my lifetime I have not seen. And it is all at
the behest of this fucking net.
And I just I want to add something that I want to take your argument, which I think you're spot on
about and take it a little bit further. I think it's a great argument. Let's take it a little deeper. You're right. Republicans have always been raw, raw military.
They've never been raw, raw. Let's support the soldier ever. You're right. The Republican Party
has always been like this. And it's important for people to understand that they were just more
polite about things. They were a little bit more civil about things. They weren't as unhinged.
But this didn't just come out of nowhere. This MAGA, the Republican Party incubated the worst
versions and the worst impulses of themselves. George W.
Bush didn't give a flying fuck about the troops, because if he did, he wouldn't have lied and sent
them into war in Iraq who didn't attack us while he's playing patty cake with the Saudis who did
fund 9-11 and then get them all to commit war crimes with Abu Ghraib. So this is a continuation
of Republican policy of how shitty they treat the military. And it is our job to call out the
propaganda that Republicans have perpetuated. And it is our job to call out the propaganda that Republicans have perpetuated for
years, because why does it land when he says this shit? He's not saying this shit for the first
time as a Republican. It lands because the Republican Party has been lying to people for
years that they are so pro-troops. They've never been. They're pro-money. They are pro-who can we
buy these bombs from and how much can we line their pockets? The Republican senators, lobbyists
taking in information, then insider training.
the fix has been in on all of this for a long time and our service members are the sacrificial lambs
of the republican party and they manipulate and use them in such a grotesque way and it's been
going on for a very long time look at all of the ridiculous military intervention around the world
vietnam iraq uh now iran and so many others that that did not advance our interests we have 40
trillion dollars in debt what do working day americans have to show for it vietnam iraq iran
tax cuts for billionaires that's what they have to show for it but the republican party
wraps this up and serves it to people be a good american and support the troops like me
and they've been doing this for such a long time and that's why pete hexeth exists
now because people before him paved the road for him to get on
right he's just more of a caricature of it and i and i will also say just to add to your point
because you're 100 right is if you want to see how much republicans support the troops
look and see how they treat veterans look at their votes when it comes to va benefits suicide
hotlines post-traumatic stress counseling look at their record and see how much they support the
troop once they come home yeah 9 11 responders all of that stuff right all right and then we have um
an update on the navy sailor who tried to jump off the uss lincoln pop this up ms now exclusive a
sailor who jumped from the uss abraham lincoln this month and what his wife describes as a suicide
attempt is now facing disciplinary action from the navy according to his wife and charging documents
reviewed by ms now and i'm going to be really blunt here we've heard pete hexeth talk about we
can't have fat military guys we can't woke military guys this type of man uh this kind of broken
emotionally stunted man is the type of person that doesn't deal with deep uh emotional issues
everything is surface and i guarantee you pete hexa said this is just my opinion
we need to charge this kid he's a that's that type of that's that type of manosphere man
all of these people are broken and if they they don't they would think it was a weakness to talk
about depression or a weakness to talk about emotional issues that somebody may have they
would see that as a weakness where i see all of those things to be able to address these problems
that we all suffer as human beings and express them to somebody as a real form of bravery
being vulnerable takes an incredible amount of bravery i mean i'm often terrified when i admit i
would feel really vulnerable about this because we oftentimes our instinct is to mask it well that's
on steroids with these buffoons well i just look at the these two stories back to back and i think
this is an exclamation point on how pete hexeth supports the troops
he is not supporting the troops he is telling them you do what i say and if it's up
and the orders are wrong and i get you in a situation where your mental health takes a huge
beating by locking you on a ship with very little food very little rest and then your mental health
breaks i'm going to charge you because i don't support the troops i support killing people i
support
being high testosterone, a big macho man. I mean, this, to me, this is just a perfect bookend of
this is the Republican Party and this is Pete Hexup. This is how they support the troops.
I completely agree with you. The Republican Party has been treated the troops in the most
disrespectful, disparaging way on the planet. And that's just by the same way they treat the
working class. They lie, they lie, they lie, suck the money and the lives out of people
so they can pass it on to the worst among us, the billionaires that want to exploit
other people's labor. And that's what it is. These military industrial complex takes an earnest
person who joined the military because they thought at least I'll have a job, a paycheck,
health insurance, and they exploit it, send them to the front lines, create forever,
wars so that the United States can continue to make bombs and can continue their ridiculous
military interventions. And we have a $40 trillion debt in this country and we barely
have air traffic controllers. And now we have killer fucking blueberries and we're importing
contaminated beef from Argentina. It's utterly insane. Moving along, Usha Vance shares her best
advice for J.D. with Fox News. Play the clip.
advice that you've ever given him, politically speaking.
I think the best advice was to take a little bit of a social media break. A piece of advice that
I've been giving him since he encountered social media, because it just, the constant flow of
stuff is just so exhausting. And I think that, you know, he did that for Lent and I think it
was a really enjoyable experience for him. It's just too much.
I mean, are these people for real? Is she for real? Like, is she, she's for real sitting up
there? Like, you know, Usha, the least of your problems is your husband on social media. The
most of your problems is that your husband is a sociopath that was bought, purchased, paid for by
J.D., by Peter Thiel. And the name changes, the religious changes. And I would even have
concerns about the fact that he refuses to condemn.
racist Nazi chats. But I guess this is catnip for Fox viewers. I don't know. I don't know what
the hell that's supposed to be. Well, and I'm just like, why? For me, I guess I've always had
like Usha. She's an accomplished attorney. She's very smart. And then she gets on there and I'm
like, she kind of looks like a trad wife. I mean, just that whole, I don't know. I thought it made
her, it looked.
A very bad like for her, a very bad piece of political advice for her. The whole thing was
just gross. It was just gross. I completely agree. All right. That's all we have. Like,
